A single chickee structure located on the south shore of a branch of the Little Shark River, 0.3 miles south of WW marker #6. This is a shady site, with northern exposure. The chickee is tucked up against a tall red mangrove forest. The rattling and plopping and thunkings of the forest residents will be heard all night long.
Access - Accessible by boat, canoe, and kayak at all tides. Be aware of the strong tidal current and plan your route accordingly. Wilderness Waterway travelers will access the chickee from the Little Shark River. Others may take on the challenge of the aptly named Labyrinth route and approach from the southeast.
